I'm a real person, and I'm angry. I'm trying to use this celebrity thing to get people some help. AIDS, poverty, racism - I want to be one of the hands that helps stop all that. I'll put it on my shoulders. I'll charge it to my account.

I think there's grays in characters if you look at all the great characters, those characters that have those layers of being good and being bad and what's the struggle. It's always more interesting to watch.

I love music. I've always wanted to do music, even when I started out as a comedian.

If you can, always be appreciative of the ebb and flow of the losses and the wins.

We can't wave a magic wand and get rid of any of these people's problems, but what they want is they want to be heard.

That's what's great about the arts. Everything inspires you, and you get a chance to grow from watching other people and how they do their work.

if I fail as Jamie Foxx, I'll just change my name and come back as something else.
